This day in Mohawk Valley history: October 13, 1900
As reported in the Gloversville Daily Leader, Fulton County, NY
The Big Locomotive
Engine No. 999, the standard type of those used on the Central-Hudson several years ago, and which won the admiration of all at the Chicago world’s fair, and which when it returned from there was kept in a glass case, was yesterday sent from the Rensselaer yards to West Albany, pushing a hand-car ahead of it. How the might has fallen. Some months ago the engine was reduced in size, small drivers having been put on and she was used on the West Shore of late.
